PHILADELPHIA — When it comes to seeking advice on the inner workings of the NBA and what it takes to make a team in the league, Jerami Grant has a leg up the on the rest of the Sixers’ draft picks and draft-day acquisitions.

His dad, Harvey, played 11 years in the league, the last with the Larry Brown and Sixers in 1999.

Jerami Grant also played one year at Syracuse with Sixers guard Michael Carter-Williams, the 2013-14 NBA Rookie of the Year.

So for Grant, for the second oldest of Harvey’s four sons, advice is only a phone call away, and the options are plentiful.

“I definitely think I can go to them for any situation or they can come to me for any situation they think I need to work on,” Grant said of his dad and uncle. “I definitely think it’s good for me.”

And what has he learned from his dad and uncle?

“They taught me to work hard,” said Grant, who averaged 12.1 points and 6.8 rebounds as a sophomore last season. “You always have to work hard. Everybody in the NBA’s talented. They’re in the NBA for a reason, so work ethic is what separates you from everybody else.”

That’s something the athletic 6-8 forward from Syracuse by way of DeMatha Catholic in Maryland learned at an early age.

“I think he understood (that it was a job) in his junior or senior year of high school because he wanted to make this a career,” Harvey Grant said. “He put the work in, getting up at 6 o’clock in the morning, 6:30 in the morning to work out, taking a rest and coming back to work out (again). The work ethic is there. He just has to keep it up.”

For Harvey Grant, watching the draft as a parent was much more difficult than going through the experience as a player. He was one of many parents in attendance as the Sixers introduced five of their newest acquisitions — including Jerami, who was selected 39th overall — during a news conference at PCOM Saturday.

Dario Saric, whom the Sixers traded for, was there along with Clemson forward K.J. McDaniels, Tennessee guard Jordan McCrae and guard Pierre Jackson. The Sixers selected Jackson with the second pick in the second round, No. 32 overall. Philadelphia acquired the rights to the 6-5 McCrae in a trade with San Antonio and picked up the rights to Jackson in a deal with New Orleans.

One significant absence was center Joel Embiid, the prize of the Sixers’ draft. The No. 3 pick, though, had a valid excuse. The 7-0 center recently had surgery on his right foot and cannot fly. He will be introduced during a conference call Monday. Serbian point guard Vasilije Micic, whom the Sixers selected with the 52nd pick, also was not in attendance.

To a man, all talked about what a great opportunity it is to contribute to a team that went 19-63 a year ago, and all felt that Philadelphia and Brett Brown’s up-tempo, defensive-minded approach was the best fit for them.

McCrae and Jackson are the only real scorers of the group who hope to be on the team this season. The 6-5 McCrae ranks 16th in Tennesse history with 1,521 career points.

The 5-10 Jackson, whom the Sixers drafted last year and then traded to New Orleans in the Nerlens Noel deal, lit it up in 31 games for the Idaho Stampede in the NBA Developtment League. He averaged 30 points, seven assists and two steals.

“I just wanted to show NBA personnel that I was capable of playing at this level,” Jackson said.

“Check,” chimed in Sixers president and general manager Sam Hinkie. “That worked. Good job.”

“Now that I have the chance I have to make the most of it,” Jackson continued.

McDaniel thought he was going to go in the first round. When that didn’t happen, he knew he was going to the Sixers at 32.

“I’m happy,” said McDaniels, who was the Defensive Player of the Year in the ACC. “I still have my (76ers) hat on.”
